How to Care for Your Rlc. Dreamspinner Volcano Queen
The Rlc. Dreamspinner Volcano Queen is a stunning hybrid orchid, showcasing vibrant colors and elegant blooms. Proper care ensures it thrives and blooms beautifully.
Light:
Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct noon sun, which can scorch the leaves. East or west-facing windows with filtered sunlight are ideal.
Temperature:
Maintain daytime temperatures between 70°F and 85°F. Nighttime temperatures should be cooler, around 55°F to 65°F, to encourage proper growth and flowering.
Watering:
Water thoroughly when the potting medium feels dry to the touch. Typically, this means watering once a week, but adjust frequency based on humidity and temperature. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water to prevent root rot.
Humidity:
Aim for a humidity level of 50% to 70%. Use a humidity tray or a room humidifier if necessary, especially in dry indoor environments.
Fertilizing:
Feed with a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20) every two weeks during the growing season (spring through early fall). Reduce feeding to once a month in winter.
Potting Medium and Repotting:
Use a well-draining orchid mix, such as fir bark or a combination of bark and perlite. Repot every 2-3 years or when the medium breaks down, ideally after flowering.
Air Circulation:
Ensure good air movement around the plant to prevent fungal diseases and promote healthy growth.
Bloom Care:
After bloom, cut spent flower spikes to encourage new growth. Continue regular care to support future blooming cycles.
With these care guidelines, your Rlc. Dreamspinner Volcano Queen will reward you with vibrant, long-lasting flowers and vigorous growth.
